First fruits of Obama’s U.S. as Middle East “dictator” slander

Originally published by Mike DeVine, Legal Editor for The Minority Report

It didn’t take long for President Barack Hussein Obama’s aggresion inviting weakness messages to bear fruit. Iran’s Jew genocide-seeking MembersOnlyJacket-ijad “reaches out” to our America-Criticizer-in-Chief (A-CINK), but I can’t tell if A-CINK will interpret this as an open hand or a clenched fist:

“Those who say they want to make change, this is the change they should make: they should apologize to the Iranian nation and try to make up for their dark background and the crimes they have committed against the Iranian nation,” [President Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad (pictured) said.

Not hard to tell for whom Iran’s Commander-in-Chief speaks, is it? Unlike yesterday’s olive branch from our A-CINK, President Obama:

“What I told him [Middle East envoy George Mitchell] is start by listening, because all too often the United States starts by dictating,” Obama told the interviewer.

The first Iranian fruits from our President’s increased diplomatic emphasis break from the Bush Administration comes on the heels of earlier moves last week announcing the closing of Gitmo withing 12 months and that caprured terrorists will have not one hair on their heads bothered before their “OJ trials.” The target audiences of these moves and messages have been Obama’s left-wing base and liberasl media around the world in an effort to make people like us more. But the message sent to our enemies, and especially the world’s number one sponsor of terror for four decades, is one of weakness or, as Osama bin Laden concluded before 911, that the U.S. as a “weak horse” and a “paper tiger.”

More of Iran’s demands:

“When they say policy would change, it means they would end America’s military presence around the world,” he said, referring to U.S. troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere in the world.

The Iranian president listed a range of “crimes” such as trying to block what Tehran says is a peaceful nuclear power generation program, hindering Iran’s development since the 1979 revolution and other actions by several administrations for more than 60 years.

End America’s military presence around the world? The last time our world military presence was reduced, Saddam Hussein invaded Iran twice and conquered Kuwait as our country suffered multiple attacks from al Qaeda and Iranian-backed terrorists throughout the 1990s culminating with those on September 11, 2001.

Since that date, during the era of America’s clenched Bush fist, we have suffered ZERO attacks.

Still want to loved by Al-Arabiya and the BBC, Obama?

    I don’t want to misread you, GC, and I know it is a sensitive subject post-Limbaugh-gate (rolls eyes), but this really seems like projecting failure for Obama. The President is adopting a new posture for our foreign relations, which many of us (meaning Americans?maybe not as many on this site) think is good strategy. Disagree if you like, but you can?t blame Ahmadinejad?s same-old, tired rhetoric on Obama just because he?s in the Oval Office right now. It?s nothing new. The mere fact that Ahmadinejad is incorporating Obama’s “change” mantra into his inflamed crazy is not proof-positive that the change idea is bad.

    To suggest that the two are correlated (?first fruits?) THIS EARLY is projecting failure.

    Hence a first fruit, ie response.

    I wrote before and after the election that we must support Obama in foreign policy and go extra miles given he is the author of same, but when he trashes the US policies of the past in a slander on his own country, I must oppose.

    I pray that we aren’t attacked due to his perceived weakness. I am pleading for him to gain some common sense and quit exuding weakness.

    I am sorry we disagree, but I pray that we don’t return to the policies of the 90s or worse that cause many “failures” ie innocent American deaths to terrorism.

       The actions of the first week of Obama’s Presidency are showing us that weakness in foreign policy is exactly what he’s trying to show the world.  I can see using diplomatic channels as an alternative in most cases, but the terror-sponsoring states should have that considered as an open channel to be used only when we’ve successfully de-fanged said governments and neutralized the threats posed by their terrorist proxies.  Maybe if Iran weren’t taken over by such “bad boy” extremists, I’d consider sitting at a table with their representatives, but not while “Israel must be destroyed” Ahmadinejad is the man speaking at the podium.

       I expect something a little too much like Carter’s dhimmi attitude coupled with the Clinton-era “Apologizer-In-Chief” role, turned up to 32 on the dial.

    But he didn’t show weakness. It is a myth that we didn’t go the extra mile with the UN before invading Iraq.
